Ainslie Football Club is a semi-professional Australian rules football club based in Canberra,[1] in the Australian Capital Territory.
The club was formed in 1927[2] and won its first premiership in 1929.[3]
Ex-St Kilda star Kevin Neale was captain-coach for six seasons (1978–1983), during which time Ainslie won four premierships: 1979, 1980, 1982, 1983.
In 1984 Ex-Collingwood and Richmond player Rod Oborne captain-coached the club, winning the 1984 premiership. The club was also coached by former VFL/AFL great David Cloke. Chris Rourke coached Ainslie for 14 years from 2007 to 2020 taking the club to six premierships during that period.
The club entered the NEAFL for the competition's inaugural season in 2011 – finishing the year as Eastern Conference premiers.[4] The club left NEAFL at the end of the 2015 season and returned to the AFL Canberra competition.[5]
The Club's male record games holder is Todd Pulford (236 games) and the female record holder is Dani Curcio (236 games).
